#### Possible Outcomes:

* **Challenger Wins 🏆:**
  * **Defender loses:** 2.5% of their total XP.

* **Win Rate:** Odds start at 50/50, but can be altered with strategic item use.

### Item Boosters

Boost your odds or defend your rank with tactical items:

* **For Challengers:**
  * **Poisonous Arrow 🏹** (Cost: 2,250 $AIP) - Increases win chances by 25%.
* **For Defenders:**
  * **Reinforced Shield 🛡️** (Cost: 3,000 $AIP) - Also increases win chances by 25%.

**Note:** Effects from items cancel each other if both players use them, maintaining the odds at 50/50.

### Why Play King of the Hill?
